Draper, 1753, some gatherings rather browned, pp. [iv], xxxiii, [3], [1]-4, [2], 5-267, [1]; 328, [8, ads]; 321, [1], 12mo, contemporary sprinkled calf, spines divided by raised bands between gilt rules, red morocco lettering pieces, the compartment below these dyed black and numbered in gilt, a little rubbed and chipped, bookplate removed from front pastedowns, good (ESTC T89176) £100 Also issued as part of a set of Addison’s works in 12 vols., comprising several specific collections like this one which were sold on their own and stand as complete in themselves. 2. Aelfric Grammaticus, Abbot of Eynsham. A Testimonie of Antiquitie, shewing the auncient fayth in the Church of England touching the sacrament of the body and bloude of the Lord here publikely preached, and also receaved in the Saxons tyme, above 600. yeares agoe. [Edited by Matthew Parker and John Joscelyn.] [colophon:] John Day... Cum privilegio Regiæ Maiestatis. [1566?], fore-margin of the title-page sometime torn away (no loss of text, though slight loss to an early inscription at the head of the title), some mild damp-staining, slightly more pronounced at the end, and corners curling, but an attractive and large copy, ff. 48, 50-75, [14], (A-L8), small 8vo, resewn in the original binding of limp vellum, being a fragment of a twelfth-century manuscript, lacking spine, contemporary ownership inscription on verso of last leaf of Richard Ballett - twice, once in a secretary hand and again in italic, early note on upper cover ‘Broughton Lib’, (STC 159.5: variant with the royal privilege at the bottom of the title-page, and the inverted ‘e’ of Maiestatis corrected) £12,000 The first edition of the first printed Old English text, and the first book printed using Anglo-Saxon types. ‘Day struck up a relationship with Matthew Parker, to whom he proved a willing foil in the archbishop’s cherished antiquarian projects. In 1566 he published for Parker Aelfric’s Testimonie of Antiquitie, a book which required the design and casting of special Anglo-Saxon characters’ (ODNB). Another edition probably of the same year corrects the errata, adds marginal notes, and adjusts the foliation and signatures, among other more minor changes. Aelfric of Eynsham (c.950-c.1010) was the most prolific writer of his time and this text, a version of his ‘Sermo in Die Pascae’, was selected by Matthew Parker for theological reasons – careful editing smoothed out ambiguities in Aelfric’s text, discarding as interpolations references to physical transubstantiation. Parker could then argue that the English Protestant movement was a return to original principles in which the Catholic church had become corrupt. ‘A Testimonie was merely the first in a long series of books in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in which Old English was used, in large or small part, in the polemical battle between Protestants and Catholics’ (Murphy, ‘John Foxe, Martyrologist’, English Studies, 1968, p. 517). ‘It was a shrewd blow, well timed and accurately delivered. Money, time and learning were lavishly expended on it, because it was politically as well as doctrinally important... the printing of the first book in an Anglo- Saxon fount was a severe test, triumphantly accomplished... in the face of great technical difficulties’ (Bromwich, ‘The First Book Printed in Anglo-Saxon Types’, Trans. of the Cam. Bib. Soc., 1962, pp. 271-2). Whether by accident or design, the manuscript used for binding this copy is appropriate to one of the political purposes of the book. The text (inside the front cover) is from the fourth chapter of the Acts of the 1 Apostles, and includes the first 3 /2 words of verse 13: ‘Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Joannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotæ, admirabantur’ (‘When they saw the outspokenness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were astonished’). Matthew Parker, Queen Elizabeth’s Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury, wanted not only to make known that the mystery of transubstantiation was not Anglo-Saxon doctrine, but also that the early church used the language of the people: not Latin, but Old English. 1 BLACKWELL’S RARE BOOKS 3. Aeschylus. Trageodiae Septem, cum versione Latina. [Two vols.] Glasgow: Excudebat Foulis. [1794], Veneunt Londini, apud T. Payne; Payne & Mackinlay: Oxoniae, apud Jos. Cooke, 1806, LARGE AND FINE PAPER COPY, half-titles discarded, a few gatherings rather foxed, some minor spotting elsewhere, a few later pencil notes, the text numbered as spreads rather than leaves or pages, pp. [iii], 234; [i], 202, 8vo, contemporary half dark red skiver, marbled boards, good (Gaskell 702 Variant) £400 Gaskell records this variant, with cancel title-pages dated 1806 (but referring to the original date in error as 1794, rather than 1796), and speculates that the same issue ‘no doubt appeared originally in 1796, with the title-pages uncancelled, but no such copy has been seen’. The text reprints the 1795 folio edition, which was edited by Porson. 4. [Allott (Robert), editor] Wits Theater of the Little World. Printed by I[ames] R[oberts] for N[icholas] L[ing], 1599, FIRST EDITION, a few catchwords trimmed, first 2 and last 4 leaves soiled, small hole in blank area of title, repair to lower margin of title, rust hole in X5 with the loss of a few letters, ff. [iv], 269, [7], small 8vo, nineteenth-century dark burgundy morocco, double gilt fillets on sides, double gilt rules on either side of the 3 raised bands on the spine and at head and foot, lettered and dated in gilt direct, signature of John Couchman dated 1699 on Hh1r, (ESTC S100300; Grolier, Langland to Wither 15; Pforzheimer 1094) £5,000 In this copy the Dedication is not signed and the text at the head of Bb1r is not corrected (a faint brown shadow over the uncorrected 4 lines may suggest that the correction slip was once pasted over). Dedicated to John Bodenham, this seems to be the third in the series of four, begun with Bodenham’s Politeuphuia, 1598, though its exact place in the scheme is as uncertain as the identity of the editor, Richard Allott. There are two candidates, one an Oxford man, the other Cambridge, with the former seeming likelier. In The Table at the end a few extra headings have been added in an early hand, and there are corresponding underlinings in the text. Scarce: ESTC lists just 7 copies in the UK, and 10 in the USA in 8 institutions. 5. Augustine (Saint) De civitate dei cum commento. [Venice: Octavianus Scotus] 18th February, 1489/90, large woodcut to verso of title-page, woodcut printer’s device to final leaf, initials supplied in red or blue and printed capitals picked out in red, two larger initials in red and blue, a 2cm tall waterstain with attendant softening to lower margin of first two-thirds of the volume, first two gatherings with resulting paper repairs, one leaf (A6) stained, small rusthole to final leaf touching one character, a little other light browning, intermittent short marginalia in an early hand, a longer note faded from recto of title-page, ff. [264], folio (309 x 210 mm), old wooden boards recently recovered in brown calf in period style, tooled in blind, two fore-edge clasps, pastedowns preserving the vellum musical manuscript binder’s waste from previous binding, good (ISTC ia01245000; Goff A1245; Bod-inc A531; BMC V 437) £9,500 Augustine’s City of God, including the the most substantial medieval commentary - which was also the only commentary to see print in the incunable period - originally written in the fourteenth century by Thomas Waleys and Nichoas Trevet. There were numerous incunable editions of the text; this is the second printed by Bonetus Locatellus for his frequent collaborator Octavianus Scotus - the two produced more than 120 incunables together, with the very first being their first version of this text, in 1487.

HIS book had its origin in the course of three (Cantor) Lectures given before the Society of Arts in 1889; they have been amplified and added to, and further chapters have been written, treating of the very active period in printing and decorative book- illustration we have seen since that time, as well as some remarks and suggestions touching the general principles and conditions governing the design of book pages and ornaments. It is not nearly so complete or comprehensive as I could have wished, but there are natural limits to the bulk of a volume in the " Ex-Libris" series, and it has been only possible to carry on such a work in the intervals snatched from the absorbing work of designing.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The choice of literary fiction to the general exclusion of popular fiction is partly because the latter’s response to the Cold War has received some study, but also because study of the topic tends to overemphasise its source material. For example, see LynnDiane Beene paraphrased in Brian Diemert, ‘The Anti- American: Graham Greene and the Cold War in the 1950s’, in Andrew Hammond, ed., Cold War Literature: Writing the Global Conflict (London and New York: Routledge, 2006), p. 213; and David Seed, American Science Fiction and the Cold War: Literature and Film (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1999), p. 192. 2. Caute, Politics and the Novel during the Cold War (New Brunswick and London: Transaction Publishers, 2010), p. 76. 3. Richard J. Aldrich, ‘Introduction: Intelligence, Strategy and the Cold War’, in Aldrich, ed., British Intelligence, Strategy and the Cold War, 1945–51 (London and New York: Routledge, 1992), p. 1. For useful summaries of the different schools of Cold War historiography, see S.J. Ball, The Cold War: An International History, 1947– 1991 (London and New York: Arnold, 1998), pp. 1–4; and Ann Lane, ‘Introduction: The Cold War as History’, in Klaus Larres and Lane, eds, The Cold War: The Essential Readings (Oxford and Malden: Blackwell, 2001), pp. 3–16. 4. Dwight D. Eisenhower quoted in John Lewis Gaddis, The Cold War, new edn (2005; London: Penguin, 2007), p. 123. In the mid-1940s, the US assertion that ‘in this global war there is literally no question, political or military, in which the United States is not interested’ was soon echoed by Vyacheslav Molotov’s claim that ‘[o]ne cannot decide now any serious problems of international relations without the USSR’ (quoted in Paul Kennedy, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers: Economic Change and Military Conflict from 1500 to 2000, new edn (1987; New York: Vintage Books, 1989), p.

Brilliantly comic, sharp and bitingBy J C E HitchcockApart from ldquo;Sound the Retreatrdquo;, set in 1945-6, the novels in this volume advance Simon Ravenrsquo;s ldquo;Alms for Oblivionrdquo; sequence through the sixties and into the seventies. ldquo;The Judas Boyrdquo; is set in 1962. Tom Llewyllyn, now a producer at the BBC, commissions his friend Fielding Gray, now a writer, to make a documentary about the Cypriot independence struggle, a conflict in which Gray himself took part and was injured. On arrival on Cyprus, however, Fielding discovers that there are powerful forces, among them Somerset Lloyd-James (now an MP) and the American spy Earle Restarick, who have secrets to hide and are determined to prevent his programme from being made.Although the sequence makes use of the device of recurring characters, Raven uses a wide variety of settings, both in terms of geography and in terms of subject-matter. ldquo;Places Where They Singrdquo;- the title is taken from an instruction in the Book of Common Prayer- is a ldquo;campus novelrdquo; set against a background of student radicalism in the Cambridge of 1967.
